The Velvet Coup [View all]

Has anyone considered that Trump was supposed to be a ruse, planted by Bill Clinton (remember Bill called Trump and suggested that he, a Democrat, run in the Republican primary). Bill's reasoning would be two-fold: 1. Trump would out crazy the Republican runners, thus revealing how far to the right and crazy-land, the Republican Party has gone; and 2. would distract from all of Hillary's negatives, thus bettering her chances to secure the presidency. However, the plan did not work as anticipated, and Trump won the nomination. As soon as he did, he has had to cancel Hillary's negatives by going more to the extreme than she...on Kissinger, on fracking and fossil fuel extraction, etc. This election is nothing more than a velvet coup by wealthy and powerful forces, ones that will achieve more power, control, and wealth than imaginable when the "trade" agreements pushed by Obama and Hillary are implemented, giving them sovereign powers that supersede that of local, state, and federal governments. And they will have the might of the U.S. military behind them. It will end the rule of law and cement the oligarchy. Go ahead. If Hillary is the nominee, celebrate and do so at your own risk.

Now, feel free to alert on me. Call me a conspiracist. It doesn’t matter anymore. I am off to jackpineradicals.org where alternate views are welcome.
